Janome 9000 needles
Getting back to quilting after recent retirement.
I bought a used Janome MC9000 machine last fall. I thought I would use the embroidery feature alot. I am a quilter and a multiple use machine appealed to me. I am having trouble finding the right needles to quilt with. It was suggested I use a topstitch needle from Janome. I purchased size 11 and 14. Trying to sew through several layers where the seams meet is a nightmare the machine clunks through sometimes pushing the fabric to the left. I have purchased a new 1/4" foot (babylock) as a friend suggested because I could not get an accurate 1/4" with the patchwork foot.
I would appreciate any help you Janome users can give me.
